Does the sock-hungry goblin in your dryer leave you with mismatched pairs? Put those lonely extras to use by tying them in a knot (or two, depending on the length) and give them to your dog or favorite friend’s dog. Tying the knot will help disguise it so your pooch will be less likely to go after

your good socks, and it will give them something more substantial to chew on. Most of their toys end up in pieces anyway, so save yourself the money and spare Mother Earth the excess materials. Thanks to Megan Vigus for submitting this tip!
